‘Total BS’: John Kelly forced to deny report he called Trump an idiot | US news | The Guardian

John Kelly, the White House chief of staff, has been forced to deny a report that he called Donald Trump an “idiot”.

In a rapid response statement issued on Monday, Kelly dismissed the claim, broadcast by NBC News, as “total BS”.

The denial was quicker and more direct than that offered by the then secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, when he allegedly described the US president as a “fucking moron” and then ducked questions about it. Trump challenged Tillerson to an IQ test and eventually fired him.
